Where was West when they were Killing Mike Brown!!! ??? I hope Jim Buss is TRULY interested in winning next year and not worried about tax money spent. If he changes this into more of a business than it already is, we are in trouble. If there is any fool who believes this same team without major changes this off season A. Can get D12 back or B. Will do much better next year is sadly mistaken. I honestly believe not only has the Front Office have to be Great starting now but we are also going to need a little luck i.e. when we got Pau, the trade that got us the draft rights to Magic Johnson and James Worthy or when we got Kareem for peanuts or even the Vlade / Kobe trade. Something special has to happen. I know Mitch tries hard but it's really SHOWTIME now. Nash and MWP to Toronto??
